Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a clip-mounting seat for mounting clips to vehicle interior components. The clip seating section has an engaging hole for engaging the clip's axial portion and guide edge portions for guiding the clip into the engaging hole. The clip seating section has rigidity and prevents the clip from being disengaged from the engaging hole. The guide edge portions have protruding pieces that come into surface-contact with the clip and distribute the load, preventing the clip from being disengaged without decreasing the rigidity of the clip seating section. The vehicle interior component has multiple clip-mounting seats for easy installation and transportation.

Problems solved by technology

Therefore, each of the conventional clip-mounting seats fails to exert the function of preventing the disengagement of the clip from the clip-mounting seat.

Abstract

A clip-mounting seat for mounting a clip to a vehicle interior component is disclosed. The clip includes a pillar-shaped axial portion. The clip-mounting seat includes a clip seating section, the clip seating section having an engaging hole for engagingly receiving the axial portion of the clip, and a pair of guide edge portions extending to the engaging hole from a side of the clip seating section to thereby form a tapered silt for allowing the axial portion of the clip to be slid along the pair of guide edge portions and allowing the axial portion of the clip to be guided into the engaging hole.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates mainly to a clip-mounting seat which is used to mount a clip on an inner surface side of a vehicle interior component, the vehicle interior component being adapted to be opposingly fixed to a vehicle body panel by the clip.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Generally, in a vehicle interior component such as a door lining, a rear corner panel, etc., a plurality of anchor-shaped clips are provided at an inner surface of the vehicle interior component. The clips are press-fitted into stop holes formed in a panel surface of a vehicle body panel, whereby the vehicle interior component is opposingly fixed to the vehicle body panel.[0003]More particularly, the clips are provided at the inner surface of the vehicle interior component via clip-mounting seats which are provided at the inner surface of the vehicle interior component. The clip-mounting seats of the vehicle interior component include seating sections on which the clips are ...
